Overview

The Master by Research programme in Chemistry at Mid Sweden University is the right choice for students who wish to specialize in chemistry and aim for a career within research, development and innovation. During the programme, you work together with researchers on a research problem. You mix your research with the academic studies you need to solve the problem.

As a student, you are part of a research team at the department. Together with researchers, you take part in a research project and work both independently and together with others.

The education consists of both courses on an advanced level and project work, and ends with an individual Master’s thesis during the last semester. Projects may include areas like synthesis and analysis of natural products, molecular interactions in biopolymer systems, organic catalysis, or development of analytical methods.

After the programme

After having completed your Master’s thesis, there are good opportunities to work with research within academy or trade and industry, or in product development with new technology.
